September 2003 - January 2008

In the year 2007, the average American spent 1,555 hours watching television. In days its 64.8, now thats a lot of t.v. watching.

As for me I don't own a television, and I am always asked how I have time to run as much as I do. My answer is no T.V.

I started running in September 2003, In a span of 4 years and 4 months I ran:

7 - 5k races (mostly race for the cure, 3.1 miles)
3 - 10k races (6.2 miles)
9 - 13.1 miles (Half Marathons)
3 - 26.2 miles (Marathon)
2 - 50 mile races (one DNF at mile 33, other finished in 11 hours)
1 - 187 mile relay (Ten person team, ran 20-25 miles)

Its hard to pinpoint exactly how many miles I ran altogether including training for each race. The best I can calculate is somewhere in the range of 2,800 - 3,600 miles.

I usually average a pace of 10 minute miles in races, and I usually train at around a 12 min mile pace. so we are looking at a total range of about 22 - 30 days of running. Something tells me I have ran more...
